Ever since Kamala Harris declared her campaign for the Democratic presidential nominee on July 22, Black women in red states have been feeling a renewed sense of hope. In particular, those in Mississippi have been showing their support for Harris, rallying around her and promoting the narrative that she will represent their rights better than her GOP counterpart, former president Donald Trump.
One of these women is Hattiesburg City Council Member Deborah Delgado, who plans to vote for Harris in the upcoming election not only because she is qualified, but also because of her track record of supporting issues that are important to Black women like herself. Delgado believes that Harris will bring a fresh perspective to the government, one that truly takes into account the needs and concerns of all citizens.
Similarly, Mississippi's District 69 Democratic State Rep. Tamarra Bulter-Washington is a strong supporter of Harris, admiring her impressive background as a district attorney in California and a former U.S. Senator. Bulter-Washington also believes that Harris is relatable and will fight for the rights of all Americans, not just a select few. She also finds comfort in the fact that President Joe Biden has endorsed Harris, seeing it as a testament to her capabilities and trustworthiness.
In a state that heavily leans towards the Republican party, Delgado hopes that this election will bring attention to the importance of voting. She emphasizes that every election is crucial, not just the ones with high-profile candidates, and that having someone like Harris at the top of the government will bring about positive change for the country as a whole.
Other Black organizations in Mississippi, such as the Jackson County chapter of the NAACP, are also excited about the potential impact of Harris' campaign. President Curley Clark praises her policies and leadership abilities, and believes that the NAACP is more focused on policies rather than the individual person. He also has confidence in Harris to continue the work of President Biden if anything were to happen to him.
Looking ahead to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Clark is hopeful for a sense of unity within the party so that they can succeed in the upcoming election. He stresses the importance of coming together and speaking with one voice to the American people, in order to showcase the gravity of this election and the potential for positive change under Harris' leadership.
